how can i get my limewire downloads to play on windows media player???

See this thread: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=12041 and also this one: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=21818

Just click on those links for the answer! That is to set WMP as your default player. However, if u want to just play files you've already dwnlded, go to LW's menu Tools-Options & Saving; this will show u where your files are being saved. Make a note of the name, location & path. Then either drag & drop, etc. these files where u want or direct WMP to where these files are to add them to its library (this also applies to any shared folders.)

Hope this helps, particularly since I'm a mac person & not windozzzer!

but how do u make WMP ur default player???

i did that on my limewire files cuz when i had kazaa i could right click it would say open wit media player but wit limewire it doesnt do that..........it doesnt say open with anything actually...it just says open and then nothing realli happens and the LW mp3 player isnt all that great....not to dis LW or anything lol

it made em all quicktime files and i dun like QT lol

Click onto an mp3 & then click onto File & Properties in your Windows menu & set the 'Opens with:' using the 'Change...' button to select WMP. This will set WMP as your default for opening all mp3 files.

Just as a side note:

Quintessential Player (awesome program by the way, and free) can play most anything WMP can play without the need to be constantly purchasing xtra codecs for particular types of mp3's or movies, etc. Just a thought!

I made a very simplified example here but obviously this was a text file & not an mp3. It's just to show what you need to do. Happy Listening!

i found out something!!!

on windows media player all you have to do is open it up.....go to tools......options......and then click on the "file types" tab...

youll see a list of file types....go down the row and ull see "MP3 audio files" somethin like that

if that box isnt checked.....check it

then go to Limewire and go to ur shared folder....click explore.....select songs u want and then right click and click "Play with Media Player"

YAY im smart lol
